Lake Superior in Michigans Iron country 1800's

I got as far as the Sault, and endeavored, without success, to get passage by the little schooner "Merchant," which was the only craft just then going up the lake. I had no money, and they would not let me work my way. Had I got passage, it is safe to say, some one else would be giving you this narrative to-day. The schooner was never heard of afterwards; she went to the bottom, with all on board.
